Hello, I get a `FileNotFoundError, No such file or directory` while using Git storage to a private git server. I set Secret as ENV and specify `git_token_secret_name` . Does this mean that the agent can connect to the repository but don't find the Flow python file?

Hey <@U02CBS712U9>, that’s my interpretation as well yep

And I defined the storage like such:
```flow.storage = Git(repo="&lt;my_org&gt;/dt-prefect-demo",
                   flow_path="/examples/flows-composition/etl.py",
                   branch_name='PAI-3025',
                   git_token_secret_name='GITHUB',
                   repo_host='&lt;my_org_server_address&gt;')```
Am I missing something here?

I’m not seeing anything immediately wrong here. I would maybe look into if this storage is picking up the right branch?

I would honestly just try to see if the issue persists in master. I’m not sure the debug logs would help here.

Also, this is a lot faster if you debug with the `GitStorage` class directly <https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect/blob/5221e6c4ef68eb8c7659c212ea937d1856cee8a4/src/prefect/storage/git.py#L14|here> . You can try something like:

```test = Git(repo="&lt;my_org&gt;/dt-prefect-demo",
                   flow_path="/examples/flows-composition/etl.py",
                   branch_name='PAI-3025',
                   git_token_secret_name='GITHUB',
                   repo_host='&lt;my_org_server_address&gt;')

test.get_flow()```

Ok thanks I will give this a try :slightly_smiling_face:

Hey <@U01QEJ9PP53> followup on this. I did manage to reproduce the error on local but copying the GitStorage class. When I do the `get_flow()` I still have `ValueError: Flow is not contained in this Storage` but when I do `add_flow` I get the `FileNotFoundError`. I fixed this by changing this <https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect/blob/master/src/prefect/storage/git.py#L150|line in the storage class> to `'/'.join([temp_repo.temp_dir.name, self.flow_path])` but it doesn't change anything when I push the flow to Prefect Cloud I still end up with the file not found. Any suggestions from here?

Hi <@U02CBS712U9> can you try removing the leading `/` from `flow_path`? Providing an absolute path here will force python to read from that path instead of the temporary directory


```os.path.join(os.getcwd(), '/my/dir') # returns 'my/dir'

os.path.join(os.getcwd(), 'my/dir') # returns /current/path/and/then/my/dir```

<@U01SRTRJC0Y> you are my saviour. My final code look like this and run successfully. Silly mistake on my part :man-facepalming:
```from prefect.storage import Git
from prefect import context

storage = Git(repo="&lt;org&gt;/&lt;repo&gt;",
                   flow_path="examples/flows-composition/etl.py",
                   branch_name='&lt;branch_name&gt;',
                   git_token_secret_name='GITHUB',
                   repo_host='&lt;githib_hostname&gt;',
                   stored_as_script=True)

with Flow("ETL", run_config=KubernetesRun(image="prefecthq/prefect:latest-python3.7")) as flow:
    e = extract()
    t = transform(e)
    l = load(t)

    flow.storage = storage

flow.register(project_name='project-a')```
I was wondering is `stored_as_script` parameter mandatory?

Nice! I don't think it's necessary for Git storage
